  3. How to get into badminton

    BBC Sport

    How do I start?

    Visit these club locators in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, or contact your local leisure centre if you want to play casually.

    What is it?

    • Badminton is the world's fastest racquet sport, there's a raised net and you can play singles or doubles.
    • The aim is to hit a shuttlecock, a cone shaped object usually made of feathers with a cork or rubber base, over the net with your racquet.
    • If the shuttlecock lands inside your opponent's half, or if they fail to return it back over the net in the rally, you win the point.
    • The first to 21 points will win a game, and a match is a best out of three games.

    Is it for me?

    Badminton is one of the most played sports in the United Kingdom, with over a million of us taking to the court each month - so, whether you want to play some casual rallies with a pal or have a competitive game, badminton is for anyone. It is an easy sport to pick up, most leisure centres have courts and you can hire racquets and shuttlecocks.
